Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the incidence of distal limb ischemia caused by femoral artery cannulation during Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), with findings showing varying rates of ischemia based on different criteria.
- The research was a prospective cohort study involving 280 patients, revealing that younger age is a significant predictor of ischemia, while long-term complications were minimal and unrelated to intraoperative ischemia.
- The authors suggest that intraoperative monitoring using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) offers limited value, prompting a recommendation for future research to focus on other outcomes like acute kidney injury.
